The hotel was chosen because of the warm region and the presence of a pier. In October, Alanya is warm and the sea is 26.
Of the benefits: a new hotel, a good beach, the first line, the proximity of infrastructure: pharmacies, a currency exchange office. We arrived in the evening and were seated immediately. The room is normal, fresh, not smoky. Pretty spacious. There is a small balcony. Noisy, on the one hand the motorway, on the other disco and animation in the evening. You will not sleep with an open window over the highway. The air conditioner works well and is not noisy. The room has a normal minibar, kettle, tea and instant coffee. In the lobby bar there is always natural coffee 50/50 Arabica with Robusta. You can ask for natural milk in addition and build yourself a kind of cafe latte. Alcohol is not of high quality, it is better to take with you from duty free.
The food is frankly not up to the mark. That's what annoyed us the most. Pasta, fried potatoes, ketchups, pastries, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Spoiled chicken wings were served two days in a row. What is not eaten in the evening is mixed into lunch dishes the next day. There are dishes with a smell, I recommend a good sniff before eating. Fish is fried and boiled in a starch sauce every day. Tastes disgusting, but edible. Meat is a top three, but there is always. Chicken is also always available. The dietary table is very monotonous: boiled chicken breast, rice and broccoli or Brussels sprouts. If you are on the right diet, then this hotel is no longer your choice 100%.

Regarding the service: the staff is very friendly and cool) the cleaning is good in the room and in the hotel as a whole. The beach is clean. When the current changes in the sea, debris is possible. Today I just didn’t swim about this: a lot of garbage bags, cellophane, plastic packaging for food and juices, cups. And on clean days, cool turtles and a lot of fish sailed. Guys, turtles are biting, don't poke your fingers at them. But they are a joy to watch. Lots of fish.
The beach has everything for relaxation, a chic pontoon, very good cleaning. But! In the food and drink area is the cesspool of the adjacent building, so it stinks terribly. I didn’t spoil my appetite, but those first days were very unpleasant. In the heat, it really stinks, I won’t name what. And on the way to the beach, you are forced to pass through this stench, and a pipe with a discharge of sewage treated water exits next to the pontoon and merges into the sea. Purified water, I repeat, it passed through biotal, but there is a sharp smell. So I recommend to go deeper into the pontoon.
Smoke at every step, a lot, everywhere. In Turkey, people smoke a lot. If you come to rest with children, then be prepared for this, that smoking is allowed everywhere. The animation is very good. Every day, exercises, games, yoga, dancing, a concert in the evening or a show. The girls and boys are working hard. They dance beautifully. Acrobatics are great. Respect is huge!
Live music in the Lobby. Playing piano and violin. The violin saws disgustingly and out of tune, at the level of the 5th grade of a music school, the piano too, respectively. I absolutely do not recommend. The sight is pitiful.
All in all, frankly, it's a 4 star. If possible, it is better to go to Granada Belek. We stayed there two years in a row and we loved it. In Alanya we expected much more. Disappointed.
